October 2014 Glossybox

This month’s Glossybox is probably one
of my favourite designs yet! I absolutely love the pop-art theme. I had avoided
pretty much all spoilers this month too which was a bonus so the box was a
complete surprise (except for the Nuxe Paris Mask). The only problem I had was
there was no info sheet as Glossybox are trialing a paperless card (Bit of
extra effort on my part finding it as it was poorly advertised) so I had to Google the products to find out how to use them/prices etc which was quite
annoying.

Ciaté London Paint Pot

This full sized product in my box is this lovely nail
varnish from Ciate. I believe the colour is called Snow Virgin worth £9. For some reason, mine
doesn’t have the little bow like some of the others I have seen! This white
colour looks a bit plain on its own but I can picture myself using this
alongside other colours to create some Christmas nails! I also test painted a
nail and it lasted really well and stayed chip free for longer than my other
nail varnishes.

Être Belle Cosmetics Lip lift Peel

I have never owned a product like this
before but it has quickly become a part of my daily routine. The scrub brushes
away any dead skin on the lips and leaves the perfect base to apply lipstick
onto. My matte lipsticks now glide on. I don’t know how I have coped without a
product like this before and it is perfect for these colder months where my
lips are that little bit drier.

So Susan Cosmetics Flutter Mascara

This mascara didn’t really do anything
for me unfortunately. It was no better than the one I currently use at less
than half the price. I did enjoy the packaging though, I think it looks really
sleek and expensive but the product just wasn’t for me.

Rimmel London BB Cream Matte

I have actually got a
full sized one of these which I love to use in the summer, but for the colder
weather I prefer having something with a bit more coverage. The colour match is
spot on for me, and I might keep this in my bag for touch-ups throughout the
day. The size is quite small so won’t last me long, but at the same time I don’t
really use BB creams this time of the year anyway.

Yves
Rocher - Quelques Notes D’AmourI quite like
the cute little bottle that this perfume sample came in. The scent is really
nice, quite summery though which is a bit of a shame as I am not transitioning
onto more autumnal scents and trying to find a new perfume for this season. It
will get used up though all the same! These are great to put in your handbag
(as long as the lid is firmly in place!).

Nuxe Crème Fraîche De Beauté Mask

I knew that this would be in my box
this month due to the spoilers we received last month, and I can’t say it’s a
product I’ve ever tried before. This mask is supposed to sootheany irritations and leave your skin feeling
moisturised for up to 24 hours. I put this mask on my skin, left it for 10
minutes then rubbed what was left of it in. I couldn’t believe that the thick
layer I had applied had completely soaked into my skin! That’s what I loved about
this mask; the fact there was no need for it to be removed. I applied this in
the evening and my skin was still lovely and soft the next day.

This month’s box also contained a
spoiler for the November box -. I think Glossybox is going to have to start
getting really amazing or I might be dropping it next year so I can just buy my usual products.

I got the purple nail polish and I love it from my use so far, I did a review of my box over on my blog http://oliviacrelly.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/october-2014-glossybox-pop-art.html but I was fairly happy with everything I got xxx
